Record Store Day Black Friday 2025 is this Friday, November 28th. This week's episode is the second of two special spotlights on a few of the featured titles from the Black Friday List, which is up now at RecordStoreDay.com. This week, we welcome back Talking Heads drummer and co-founder Chris Frantz to unpack Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live a vinyl collection from Rhino Records exclusively for RSD Black Friday featuring a newly discovered demo by pre-Talking Heads group, The Artistics, plus eleven demo and live tracks recorded by the original trio lineup of the band (with Tina Weymouth, Frantz and Byrne) recorded in 1975 and 1976. Chris even teases an upcoming Talking Heads project that will re-unite the group member once again. And staying in a New York groove, Deee-Lite founding member Supa DJ Dmitry Brill is here to celebrate the release of The Very Best Of Deee-Lite, a double LP on de-groovy purple and orange splatter vinyl. Along the way, the Ukrainian born musician shares the funkadelic story of Deee-Lite's early NYC club days, complete with tales of Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, and Q-Tip, plus a most cherished classic rock album that Dmitry purchased at great expense back in the former Soviet Union. Finally, we mark the passing of Reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff (1944-2025), and Stone Roses/Primal Scream bass player Gary "Mani" Mounfield (1962 -2025) the soul of "Madchester."
